My wife and I spent a night in the Four Seasons in the period between Christmas and New Year. This was to celebrate our wedding anniversary which had occurred earlier in the month.

Upon arrival we parked in the barriered car park. The sight of the valet parked cars was a wonder in itself, so many Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche cars all parked up. A sign on the way in advised that €18 parking per 24 hours would be charged.

Check in was friendly and effiicient and we were accompanied to the lift by the staff member who checked us in.

Our room was beautiful. The bed was super king sized and very comfortable. The view wasn't much but that might be to do with the time of year rather than what we looked out over. Large bathroom with separate toilet, L'Occitane toiletries.

The leisure facilities were very good. I felt the changing room / sauna / steam area was more impressive than the pool / jacuzzi. The pool area is still very nice though although not as good as that in a hotel such as the Slieve Donard but I suppose the Four Seasons is in a city where space is at a premium.

My wife was hungry when we came back in in the evening and we went to the bar beside reception. She ate and I had a pint. Her food was top quality. Really tasty. The Guinness was of a high quality too. Better than in many of the pubs in Dublin. We also got olives / snacks at the bar.

I had expected to pay €18 for parking upon checkout but was advised that this was free, which delighted me.

Negatives? Wifi is not free. €13 for a slow speed wifi or €25 for high speed per day. I appreciate that a lot of people stay at the Four Seasons and money is no object but for many people €25 makes it unaffordable. For me it was cheaper to pay data roaming to my mobile operator and tether my phone to my laptop. Also, we were offered a choice of Financial Times or Irish Times for the next morning. I chose Irish Times but did not get one. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be hung off the door or should I collect it somewhere.

Still, it was a great visit. The hotel is a wonderful building with beautiful rooms but what puts it a step above the rest is the staff.

Dear 'Smick',

Thank you sincerely for the very comprehensive review of your stay over the Christmas period. All in all it looks as though you had a great time and congratulations again on your anniversary. I hope we were able to create some lasting memories for you and your wife.

I take on board the comments regarding the internet charge and the newspaper. It looks like we dropped the ball there. Needless to say, your feedback is valuable to us and we'll make sure to share it with those who work on the front line. The guest experience is the only true measure of our success so thank you again for the time you have taken to share these observations with us.

We hope to see you again soon.

Kindest regards,Tony CoveneyDirector of Rooms

The hotel itself is about what you should expect from a Four Seasons, and the staff is very attentive and helpful.

BUT, this hotel is a 10 Euro taxi drive from downtown Dublin (i.e. the touristy areas), which gets more inconvenient and pricy each day. My biggest complaint is that the Four Season's website states that they have a car to take you into the city, which is the reason we chose this hotel given its more remote location. What they DON'T tell you is that the ONE car isn't available until 1pm, cannot be reserved (i.e. first come, first served), and will not pick you up. 1pm is way too late for anyone looking see the city to have to wait for. We ended up using the car only once, and it was to move us to the Shelbourne downtown. Had this been clearly communicated on the website we would have chosen another hotel. Instead we spend 100+ Euro on taxis.

Dear 'mjpolstein',

A belated Happy New Year to you. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us some of which was very positive and some highlighting areas where we could improve.

The hotel's courtesy car is provided for guest convenience certainly. We are not in a position to offer multiple vehicles so we try to have it in operation when we can ensure guests get the most benefit from it. To operate the car in the early morning, we would have very few guest benefit from the service since the rush hour traffic would make it impossible to be able to do more than a small number of runs into the City centre area. As such we make it available from lunch time when guests are still actively looking for it. The service then runs into the evening when we transport guests to various dinner destinations free of charge.

Your point is well made and I appreciate that you may not have been able to use the car as much as you would have liked. I am sorry that this was the case but hope that you can understand our rationale for the hours that we run the service. I will certainly ensure to review the service regulalrly to ensure optimal convenience for our guests.

If I can be of any service to you in the future, please do reach out on tony.coveney@fourseasons.com or by phone to 016654000.

Kind regards,

Tony CoveneyDirector of Rooms

This hotel is really a great place to stay, staff is abdolutely friendly and helpful, rooms are large and clean and service is definetely five stars.The location of it can be a plus for someone like me, who'd rather stay in a quiet area, and then take a brief ( 10 mnts) commute into downtown.Some people may not like it, but Dublin is not a large city, every deplacement is quite fast.Will return again.

Another wonderful stay. Staff almost flawless. Royally treated for the duration of the stay. Rooms have been spruced up, and have to say the suite was worth the extra. It was massive, like a one bed apartment. Bar still lovely and relaxing (even when busy); the Lobby Bar still a great place to meet; and the Dining Room is one of the top hotel restaurants i've been to anywhere (and reasonably priced too). Also, the Breakfast there is just superb. A real highlight, with a great choice, excellent quality, top notch service. I can not speak highly enough of the place.
